That would be like a product backlog with no prioritization
That would be like like a scrum team with no Product Owner
That would be like a burn down with no recorded velocity
That would be like a project with no stakeholders
That would be like a build with no code
That would be like an iteration with no time box
That would be like release planning with no releases
That would be like sprint planning with no sprint backlog
That would be like a Scrum board with no story cards
That would be like a scrum cycle with no retrospective
That would be like a backlog grooming session with no backlog
